Hotel overview

Siolim House is a beautiful and homely 350 year-old colonial villa with just seven suites and a separate annexe with three more rooms. The property isn’t on the beach; instead it offers a typical Goan village experience just a short drive away from the coast. All of the Standard Suites are built around the main courtyard; these are tasteful and spacious with unique terracotta tiled bathrooms, four-poster beds and antique furniture. The Superior Suites are on the first floor; these are much larger but are not air-conditioned.  The Little Siolim Suites are located in the annexe 5 minutes away from the main house. These are a little more contemporary with hardwood floors and air-conditioning.  Dining is just for in-house guests; the staff can also arrange cookery lessons for guests as well. In addition to this fishing trips and yoga classes can also be arranged and there’s a cool pool to enjoy a lazy afternoon.

Excursion

Flea Market of Anjuna (Wednesdays only)

Originally started by foreigners who wanted to sell off their second-hand items such as cameras, watches and even clothes, the Anjuna market today has quite a different appearance. Held every Wednesday, near the famous Anjuna beach, it’s a major attraction for people from both Goa and further afield. Nowadays the market is more populated by stalls operated by Tibetan and Kashmiri traders as well as colourful Lamani tribal women rather than by foreigners from Europe and America, but its appeal is still there. The stalls usually sell handicrafts from around Asia and bargaining is definitely expected by most vendors, Make sure you haggle until you are sure you are getting your money's worth; your guide will be more than happy to help you with this.

Excursion

City tour of Panjim and Old Goa

This historic half-day city tour starts in Old Goa, the former capital of Goa.  Around the square are churches and cathedrals, the most prominent being the Basilica Bom Jesus that houses the remains of St Francis Xavier. Nearby on “Holy Hill” is the Convent of St Cajetan that’s dedicated to St Catherine. Inside you’ll find catacombs with the embalmed bodies of Portuguese viceroys and archbishops.  Along the way you and your guide will pass several other churches that you may like to visit. Afterwards you’ll head to Panjim, which under the Portuguese became the new capital of Goa, transforming it from a fishing village into a small town.  Panjim still retains its old world charm with typical Portuguese architecture.  With your guide you will walk through Fontainhas, Goa’s Latin quarters; stroll through the fruit and vegetable market and finally end at the Mahalaxmi Temple dedicated to the Indian goddess of wealth.

Excursion

Spice Plantation Tour with Lunch

On arrival at the spice plantation you will enjoy a tour through the grounds to learn all about the unique herbs and spices that are grown in this region. Your guide will explain both their use in cooking as well as medicine. Traditional Goan methods of organic farming are conducted here and you’ll also find coconuts, betel nuts, pineapples, different kinds of spices and much more dotted throughout the plantation.  After your tour you will enjoy a traditional farm fresh lunch; this will be a very interesting local meal with a south Indian touch and of course the use of fresh fragrant spices. The meal will be served on a banana leaf, and the cuisine will be a tasting menu of different kinds of lentils, curries, vegetables and non-vegetarian dishes.
